A homeowner is considering having solar panels installed on her roof. This method of getting electricity for her home would be an alternative to using electricity made from fossil fuels.

Question

Based on evidence from the image, would these solar panels be a good alternative energy solution for this homeowner?
A.
No, because the surrounding trees would block sunlight from reaching the solar panels.
B.
Yes, because the red roof would attract more sunlight to the solar panels than a darker colored roof.
C.
No, because the house is too small to have solar panels installed.
D.
Yes, because the tree branches would protect the solar panels from falling objects.

Answer 1

A. No, because the surrounding trees would block sunlight from reaching the solar panels.

This option suggests that the effectiveness of the solar panels would be compromised due to shading from nearby trees, making it a less viable alternative energy solution. The other options either incorrectly emphasize benefits or assume aspects that may not be true.
